Re: Breaking a vow of silience
An American citizen is always free to breach his contracts and repudiate his word. There may be a high price for such actions, but the ability remains. In this case one would have to review the written documents attendant to the arrangement to know for sure, but one could reasonably expect to have to return the severance money if the terms of the severance agreement are not kept, and there could be other consequences.
